Tarantino's Rough Week: Thurman Crash Video, Archival Polanski Defense

#1 Post by AndyDursin »

Both of these stories are covered here:

I don't care if the "she wanted it" audio is 21 years old -- defending Polanski is just disgusting, and if it gets his STAR TREK canned I'd be happy.



Also worth looking at is the Uma Thurman KILL BILL video she shared in her story about Weinstein, which also threw Tarantino under the bus, saying he knew everything about Harvey (which is no surprise -- Tarantino's been buddies with Weinstein for decades).

The video and story about why Thurman is here --

Extracted excerpt for those who don't want to listen to the audio:
“He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word rape around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around. It doesn’t apply to everything people use it for.”
....
Tarantino: No, that was not the case AT ALL. She wanted to have it and dated the guy and—

Quivers: She was 13!

Tarantino: And by the way, we’re talking about America’s morals, not talking about the morals in Europe and everything.

Stern: Wait a minute. If you have sex with a 13-year-old girl and you’re a grown man, you know that that’s wrong.

Quivers: ...giving her booze and pills...

Tarantino: Look, she was down with this.

Holy crap. Statutory rape isn't rape? European morals are different? "She was down with this?" What a horrible person. He deserves to get into all sorts of trouble for these remarks.

I agree John.

I noticed the YouTube link is gone, I'll try and find a different source.
